He sprang from concealment, almost embracing the young gob in his delight. It was a joyful meeting that took place between the united parties.
Crikey, you'd look mighty fine stuck up against a wall with half a dozen bloomin' Prussian rifles looking at yer. Blime if I don't believe you'd dodge the bullets by caving-in at the knees!" A fierce look would be the response to such torment. "Gawd's trewth! My fretful bumble-bee, I'd write to old Tight-Whiskers about it if I was you. Get 'im to come an' bail yer out!"
'tisn't all bad." said Ronypart eagerly. "There's th' Missin' Link, fer instance; he a glutton. Blime, th' food that Missin' Link gets makes me lose all patience, an' sometimes I'd like t' get right up from my chair, an' bite him. He's in the 'ospital just now, sufferin' from his over feedin'. It's a judgment on him." "A monkey in the hospital!" "Well, he ain't exactly a monkey.

You see, at this point of the line there were strict orders not to fire a shell, unless specially ordered to do so from Brigade Headquarters. Blime me, if anyone disobeyed that command, our General yes, it was Old Pepper, would have courtmartialed the whole Expeditionary Force.
This sure got up our nose, sitting there day after day, with fine targets in front of us but unable to send over a shell.

Blime me, they were bally insulting.
He did not follow except with his eyes. "Larfin' at us, governor," jibed the diminutive cockney, putting a rail between himself and Lewis. "The 'uzzy! The minute I lays my heye on that marm, I says, 'Blime yer, you ain't no lydy'! I say, governor, give us a penny." Lewis turned away and took a few steps gropingly, head down, as though he walked in a trance.
It was the strangest mirth, as though hollow pain and laughter strove with each other for the one poor indomitable face. "Well, ee could 'a told yer, if e'd ad the mind," she said, nodding, "for ee knows. Ee's been out o' work this twelve an a arf year well, come, I'll bet yer, anyway, as ee 'asn't done a 'and's turn this three year an I don't blime im.
But, blime me, when Tom come and found out where she 'ad changed to, if she 'adn't gone and shuffled off, and all 'e 'ad for 'is pains was the sight of a mound in the churchyard."
